He heaped praise on the citizens of Bengaluru. “The big, big differentiator at the end of the day– scr** all the roads, the traffic… those things don’t matter — the people of Bengaluru are second to none (because of) the love they have for the city, how nice they are as people.”

Manchester City 0–2 Tottenham Highlights: City Defeats Arsenal in the Premier League Title Chase Thanks to a Brace From Haaland.

View the highlights of the Premier League game between London, United Kingdom’s Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City (MCI).

This page is now closed. Thanks for joining us. These were the updates as Manchester City beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in the Premier League on Tuesday, May 14:

  • Defending champions Manchester City beat Tottenham 2-0 in the Premier League.
  • Erling Haaland scores twice to settle what had been a nervy affair.
  • City climb back to the top of the table with one game remaining in the season.
  • Arsenal entertain Everton in their final game of the season on Sunday, while Manchester City host West Ham United.
  • The Spurs miss out on the fourth spot with the defeat as Aston Villa qualify for next season’s Champions League.

That’s it from our live coverage of Tottenham Hotspur against Manchester City in the Premier League.

City move two points clear of Arsenal at the top with one game to play after a brace for Erling Haaland.

It was a nervy affair at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and defeat for the home side means they miss out on Champions League football next season.

The battle for the title will go to the wire and so will the battle for the Europa League spots. Join us on Wednesday for our coverage of Manchester United and Newcastle United.

For now, though – from me, Kevin Hand – it’s goodbye.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou bristles after defeat

“The last 48 hours have revealed to me the foundations are pretty fragile,” he said at the post-match news conference.

“Outside and inside we need to go back to the drawing board with everything.

“I probably misread the situation in what is important in what you need to do to be a winning side.”

Speaking to Sky Sports, he added: “It was a tight game. In the big moments we weren’t able to capitalise and they were.

“We were in the goal the whole time. Even at 1-0, we had the chance to level. Up until their second we were in it.

“We had opportunities within the game to punish them. We still have some work to do.

“We lost the game so I’m disappointed (to miss out of the Champions League), we’ll assess the season as we go.

“Wherever you finish is a fair reflection of where you are at.”

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola gives his reaction to the win

“These type of games, with the emotions, are difficult,” he told Sky Sports.

“The opponent was difficult but in the right moment we punished them.

“They have a lot of pace to get in behind. They are an exceptional team.

“When you play thinking about the consequences, losing the Premier League, they feel the pressure and cannot perform to the usual level.

“It will be there against West Ham on Sunday, the emotions are there. You need to relax and do what you need to do.

“They are not celebrating anything. Relief because we lead going into the last game but everything can happen.”

Manchester United and Newcastle United face off on Wednesday

The battle for the Europa League positions, and indeed Erik ten Hag’s future as Manchester United manager, is our focus on Wednesday.

‘We know how things can swing in football’

Manchester City defender Kyle Walker gave his reaction to the win:

“It was always going to be difficult with the emotions and everything riding on it,” he told Sky Sports.

“It’s one step closer, it’s still not the job done but at least we bring it down to a game in front of our own fans.

“We had a job to do and we have done that. We know how things can swing against us in football.

“As the manager just said, we recover and prepare over the next three days and go and make history for this club.

“It’s not job done. There is still a game to go and a game to win.”

The points tally for Manchester City and Arsenal

Arsenal’s superior goal difference will give them some hope that a West Ham draw at Manchester City will be enough to offer the Gunners the chance to claim the title.

How Sunday shapes up for Manchester City and Arsenal

Manchester City host West Ham United on Sunday, while Arsenal entertain Everton.

Match Preview

Pep Guardiola said “history is in front of us” as he prepares his Manchester City team for a potentially tricky match at Tottenham on Tuesday that could ultimately decide the destination of the Premier League title. 

City, chasing an unprecedented fourth straight top-flight English league crown, is one point behind leaders Arsenal but crucially have a game in hand.

If City beats Spurs, it will be able to seal the championship with a win at home to West Ham on the final day of the season on Sunday, when Arsenal hosts Everton.

Guardiola’s men are charging towards the finishing line, hitting 28 goals in their past seven Premier League matches and conceding just five times. 

But the City boss, who said he was relishing the high-pressure title run-in, denied that the race was already effectively over. 

City has never won a league match at Tottenham’s new stadium, which opened in 2019, and has not even scored a goal, though it won there in the FA Cup in January.

DHFL Fraud: CBI Arrests Dheeraj Wadhawan in a Case Involving a Rs 34,000 Crore Bank Loan Scam.

This case, which concerns the purported deception of 17 banks, is being referred to as India’s biggest banking loan scam.

In connection with the bank fraud investigation involving Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Ltd (DHFL) around Rs 34,000 crore, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) detained Dheeraj Wadhawan on Tuesday.

This case, which concerns the purported deception of 17 banks, is being referred to as India’s biggest banking loan scam.

Wadhawan was already charged by the central agency in 2022 for his involvement in this case. Wadhawan was previously arrested by the CBI as part of the Yes Bank corruption investigation and then freed on bond.

The Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has ordered the attachment of bank accounts, shares, and mutual fund holdings of erstwhile DHFL promoters, Dheeraj and Kapil Wadhawan, in February 2021 in an attempt to recover outstanding dues of Rs 22 lakh.

The Wadhawan brothers’ inability to pay the fee levied on them in July of last year for violating disclosure standards led to the ruling.

The outstanding debts owed by each of the Wadhawans total Rs 10.6 lakh and include the original penalties, interest, and recovery expenses. The Wadhawan brothers, who were DHFL promoters at the time, were hit with penalties of Rs 10 lakh each by SEBI in July 2023 (now Piramal Finance). The violation of disclosure laws that went unreported led to the fine.

Dheeraj Wadhawan was a non-executive director of DHFL, while Kapil Wadhawan held the positions of Chairman and Managing Director. The administrative board of DHFL included both brothers.

In response to Dheeraj Wadhawan’s request for medical release, the Delhi High Court last Saturday sent a notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

After his bail request for medical reasons was denied by a trial judge, Wadhawan filed an appeal with the High judge. Wadhawan underwent spinal surgery and is now recovering at his Mumbai home. The CBI has been instructed by Justice Jyoti Singh to provide a response, and a hearing has been set for this Friday, May 17.

Kundapur Vaman Kamath was appointed as an independent director of Reliance Industries for a period of five years in 2022 by Mukesh Ambani, the chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries.

Mukesh Ambani is the richest man in India with a net worth of more than Rs 920239 crore and he has been leading the list of richest Indians for quite a long time now. He is the chairperson of Reliance Industries which is the most valuable company in India with a market cap of Rs 1898000 crore. Mukesh Ambani is often lauded for his vision, risk-taking abilities, and business mindset. To take the company to these heights, Mukesh Ambani got support from many people, one such person is Kundapur Vaman Kamath.

K V Kamath is a distinguished member of Reliance’s Board. In 2022, Mukesh Ambani, the chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries, named Kundapur Vaman Kamath as an independent director of the company for a term of five years. 

In addition, he holds the positions of Non-Executive Chairman and Independent Director at Jio Financial Services, a RIL subsidiary that became independent in August 2023. Isha Ambani is a director of Jio Financial Services.

K V Kamath’s association with Reliance dates back to critical moments in the history of the business, particularly the division between Mukesh and Anil Ambani after their father Dhirubhai Ambani passed away. His appointment to the board in 2022 was a turning point in the company’s history, indicating his significant influence on Reliance’s direction.

For the fiscal year 2022–2023, reports state that there will be a commission of Rs 39 lakh and a sitting fee of Rs 3 lakh.

Kamath is a mechanical engineer who completed his undergraduate studies at the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK Surathkal) and his postgraduate studies in business administration at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM Ahmedabad). He was awarded the Padma Bhushan, one of India’s highest civilian honours, in 2008.

OpenAI Launches ChatGPT For The Desktop With a New AI Model.

  • On Monday, OpenAI released a desktop version of ChatGPT, their well-known chatbot, along with a new AI model.
  • GPT-4o is the new model’s name.
  • OpenAI technology leader Mira Murati stated during a livestreamed event, “This is the first time that we are really making a huge step forward when it comes to the ease of use.”

OpenAI on Monday launched a new AI model and desktop version of ChatGPT, along with an updated user interface, the company’s latest effort to expand use of its popular chatbot.

Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Ramayana’ Becomes India’s ‘Most Expensive’ Film Yet with $100 MILLION Budget

The update brings GPT-4 to everyone, including OpenAI’s free users, technology chief Mira Murati said in a livestreamed event. She added that the new model, GPT-4o, is “much faster,” with improved capabilities in text, video and audio. OpenAI said it eventually plans to allow users to video chat with ChatGPT.

“This is the first time that we are really making a huge step forward when it comes to the ease of use,” Murati said.

OpenAI, backed by Microsoft
, has been valued by more than $80 billion by investors. The company, founded in 2015, is under pressure to stay on top of the generative AI market while finding ways to make money as it spends massive sums on processors and infrastructure to build and train its models.

The o in GPT-4o stands for omni. The new model allows ChatGPT to handle 50 different languages with improved speed and quality, and it will also be available via OpenAI’s API making it possible for developers to begin building applications using the new model today, Murati said.

She added that GPT-4o is twice as fast as, and half the cost of, GPT-4 Turbo.

OpenAI team members demonstrated the new model’s audio capabilities, for example, asking it to help calm someone down ahead of a public speech. OpenAI researcher Mark Chen said the model is able to “perceive your emotion,” adding the model can also handle users interrupting it. The team also asked it to analyze a user’s facial expression to comment on the emotions the person may be experiencing.

“Hey there, what’s up? How can I brighten your day today?” ChatGPT’s audio mode said when a user greeted it.

The company plans to test Voice Mode in the coming weeks, with early access for paid subscribers to ChatGPT Plus, according to a blog post. OpenAI also said the new model can respond to users’ audio prompts “in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds, which is similar to human response time in a conversation.”

Chen demonstrated the model’s ability to tell a bedtime story and asked it to change the tone of its voice to be more dramatic or robotic. He even asked it to sing the story.

In addition, OpenAI’s new model can function as a translator, even in audio mode, the company said. Chen demonstrated the tool’s ability to listen to Murati speaking Italian while he spoke English and to translate into their respective languages as they conversed.

Team members also demonstrated the model’s ability to solve math equations and help write code, positioning it as a stronger competitor to Microsoft’s own GitHub Copilot.

For OpenAI, the launch was one of the company’s biggest announcements since the August kickoff of ChatGPT Enterprise, the AI chatbot’s business tier. That tool was in development for “under a year” and had the help of more than 20 companies of varying sizes and industries, OpenAI Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap told CNBC at the time.

A record $29.1 billion was invested across nearly 700 generative AI deals in 2023, an increase of more than 260% from the prior year, according to PitchBook. The market is predicted to top $1 trillion in revenue within a decade.

Some in the industry have raised concerns about the speed at which untested new services are coming to market, and academics and ethicists are distressed about the technology’s tendency to propagate bias.

After ChatGPT’s launch in November 2022, it broke records at the time as the fastest-growing consumer app in history, and now has about 100 million weekly active users. OpenAI says that more than 92% of Fortune 500 companies are using the platform.

Murati said during the Monday event that OpenAI wants to “remove some of the mysticism from the technology.”

“Over the next few weeks, we’ll be rolling out these capabilities to everyone,” she said.

The new model will first roll out on Tuesday to customers of ChatGPT Plus and Team, and then to Enterprise later, a blog post on Monday said. It will also be available to free users of ChatGPT starting Monday, with usage limits. Users of ChatGPT Plus will have five times more message capacity than free users, and clients of ChatGPT Team and Enterprise will have even greater usage limits.

Murati concluded the livestreamed event by thanking Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and his company for providing the necessary graphics processing units (GPUs) to power OpenAI’s technology.

“I just want to thank the incredible OpenAI team, and also thanks to Jensen and the Nvidia team for bringing us the most advanced GPUs to make this demo possible today,” she said.

Maldives Thanks India for $50 Million Budget Aid After Indian Troop Withdrawals.

India economic support, according to the Maldives government, took the shape of a $50 million Treasury Bill that was rolled over for an extra year.

Moosa Zameer, the foreign minister of the Maldives, praised the Indian government on Monday for providing $50 million in budget help to the island nation. This comes amid a decline in bilateral relations between the two nations since pro-China President Mohammed Muizzu assumed office.

“I thank EAM @DrSJaishankar and the Government of #India for extending vital budgetary support to Maldives with the rollover of USD 50 million Treasury Bill. This is a true gesture of goodwill which signifies the longstanding friendship between #Maldives and #India,” Zameer, who visited India from May 8 to 10 on his very first bilateral official visit, posted on social platform X.

The Maldives government’s foreign office said that India’s budgetary support was in the form of a rollover of $50 million Treasury Bill, for an additional year, through the State Bank of India, Male’, from 13 May 2024.

The Maldives government said it is “highly appreciative of the generous support that Government of India has been providing to the Maldives in the form of budgetary support.”

“Large number of infrastructural developmental projects and High Impact Community Developmental projects are underway with the assistance from the Government of India, which consists of a notable part as grant assistance. The Government of Maldives looks forward in continuing this collaborative partnership for the mutual benefit and prosperity of their people,” the Muizzu government statement added.

Last week, the Maldives foreign minister had said that 76 Indian military personnel were replaced by civilian employees of the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited which manufactured the two helicopters gifted by India, thus also ending the suspense over the exact number of those repatriated at the insistence of Male.

The relations between the two countries came under severe strain in the view of Muizzu insisting on the withdrawal of Indian military personnel operating three military platforms in the island nation.
